Friends from Guadeloupe came to Anguilla for the weekend. A perfect day.

I’ve heard of over and under the rainbow but not between. A double rainbow is astonishing. Do you see that the colors are reversed?
Double rainbow over the ocean. The rainbow colors are reversed! The partial rainbow on the left is very intense, the one on the left is almost ghostly but still clearly there. A musty morning and the sun is rising behind me, hence the rainbows.

Menace and magnificence; clouds from my hammock.
Huge stacks of storm clouds over the dark grey sea. Tops of the clouds are illuminated by the setting sun which is not seen but certainly reflected.

I agree, so here are some nice happenings. The sky at sunrise and lots of tomatoes I picked from the garden. Benign, simple, and not one tiny bit of controversy. Feel better.
The unseen rising sun is sharply side-lighting very patchy bunch of small clouds across the famous Caribbean Blue sky. A metal colander on the kitchen countertop is filled with 12 scrumptious-looking, perfectly red and shiny tomatoes I plucked in the early morning light. A sharp knife with a wooden handle lies across the bounty.

Two blossoms from ground cover weeds. The blossoms are the size of a large pea and are 5 petals of a papery pale peach with a vibrant yellow center.

Sometimes you think it’s going to be impossible but then - since no one is watching - you try anyway. #moon
A picture of the full moon taken last night. A yellow-ish orb with smudges on it which are actually topographical shadows and highlights on the surface of the sphere shining in the black night sky.

End of the line. I’m the next to the last pole on my dirt road so narrow that I have the ocean on one side and the harbour on the other. The sun is setting in pure sea air unlike the same color of sky in my childhood home of Pacific Palisades.
Silhouette of two telephone/utility poles connected by wires. The farthest one has no wires beyond it. It is the last pole on the dirt road. The sun has just set and the sky is orange.

Under water rescuing a sunken boat. P.S. It was raised and all sailors were just fine.

Book Cover of Dead Souls by Nikolay Gogol. Two serfs bundled against the cold walking side by side. He with a stick, she with a sack (presumably all their belongings). They are trudging across snowy icy land (Russia). An old boat sits in ice shards with a person standing. A long building in brown grey tones is in the distance with a tower against the grey sky.

If you have not seen a baby pineapple emerging fully formed, permit me to share.
Baby pineapple emerges from its foliage. It is essentially fully-formed; just miniature. Cut off the top of a ripe pineapple and bury it. A baby happens. Pick, repeat.

A curdled cloud sky. The curds/clouds are burnt orange and flame hiding a yellow sky.
